Media War: My Advice to the President, the Press & the People
Like most people, I’ve been sickened by the recent media war between President Trump and CNN (and the rest of the liberal media at large).
I hope the feud settles down this Fourth of July as we remember the birth of our nation 241 years ago. As one author termed it, the emergence of the USA in 1776 was a “5000 year leap forward” in liberty and civil government.

Reverse Pravda: Is The Free Press Dead?
I led a team into the former Soviet Union in the 1980s. Our Bibles were taken away at the border (even a copy of TIME magazine) because the Communist Party controlled their society and didn’t want “free” ideas entering the land of the gulags.

Today, in the United States, it seems almost the other way around. A “free” press treacherously colludes with a Deep State to bring down an elected government.
Is the free press dead? If so, what should we do? Read More
